Framed by Love!

The theme over on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge this week is "Love Notes". You can be as off-the-wall in your interpretation of the theme as you like, so why not put on your thinking caps and see what you can come up with!  Create something and enter it into the challenge and you will be in the running for a $50 shopping voucher at Simon Says Stamp!

As Valentine's Day is fast approaching I certainly went with the "love" on this framed piece but I also included a nod to "letters" with the postage edge on the central panel.  I started out by stamping and colouring the leaves and bird on the frame mount.  The heart was cut from a vintage book page and then edged with fired brick distress ink and fixed in place.

I cut the postal edge from white card and fixed a panel from the Seasonal Stash to it, using another panel for the background in the frame mount.  I stamped the "14" and then stamped it again on white card, colouring the numbers, cutting them out and fixing them to the main panel which was then fixed in place.  I added the newsy bird, calendar page and ticket.

There you go, that's my craft room all loved up and ready for the 14th :)

Supplies I used included:
